bobovski 1 Report post Posted November 14, 2007 Just got my new pair of Doc Marten's boots...the same kind I've been wearing since I was 13. My last pair was about 11 years old and needed to be replaced. I forgot how painful it is to break these things in...my *skates* were easier. It is a lot like skates, though, these fit me and when they do break in they will fit perfect. Can anyone else sympathize? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mack 44 Report post Posted November 14, 2007 The only time I had trouble was on a pair of Crazy Horses and it was right in the area of the eyelets. When I'd step it felt like they were digging into my foot, but that went away after a grueling week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takes about the same amount of time (a week) for the leather to like my foot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allsmokenopancake 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2007 soap the inside heels, I wore docs for about 15 years, always soaped the heels on the inside with a warm damp cloth on the outside heel, softens and eases the break Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
